Chapter 137 - 137: Dare You to Run
Such a terrifying eruption of blood energy, it was obvious without thinking too much that the secret stash of the Dust Blood Great Sage had surely been discovered, possibly even activated by someone.
Next, countless practitioners probably rushed towards that direction, even those powerful beings at the Divine Travel Stage who had entered the Shanggeng Mirror World couldn’t stay calm.
The Twelve Refining Blood Profound Skills had once caused a great upheaval during the Shanggeng period. Numerous people coveted this profound skill. Now, it might reappear; who wouldn’t want it?
Yang Zhen wanted it too, but he didn’t rush over immediately. Instead, he found a deserted place, and cultivated his shattered Golden Pill Stage to a Nascent Soul Stage.
Just after his breakthrough, Yang Zhen had too many things to do. The Nascent Soul needed strengthening, the Dantian barrier required repair, and even meridians and the space within the spirit sea were affected. After the cultivation was completed, Yang Zhen’s cultivation would greatly increase.
The biggest difference observed betwen the Golden Pill stage and the Nascent Soul Stage was that during the latter, one could understand the connection between Martial Skill and Heaven and Earth True Essence at a much deeper level, and be able to effortlessly unleash powerful mystical formulas.
Yang Zhen took a considerable half day’s time before he managed to secure his realm at the first level of the Nascent Soul Stage!
Looking down at a chubby mini version of himself inside the Dantian, Yang
Zhen blissfully took out many heavenly treasures.
It was time to eat again.
This time he didn’t need to worry about Nascent Soul bloating. Seeing how plump this thing was, even if Yang Zhen stuffed it full, it likely wouldn’t be enough for it to digest.
Faced with a huge pile of heavenly treasures spread before him, Yang Zhen suddenly felt that simply eating them off might be wasteful. Plus, the taste wasn’t particularly good; some were as hard as rocks, absolutely impossible to bite into.
If he were to prepare elixirs now, he definitely wouldn’t have enough time and since Yang Zhen was not very skilled at elixir refining, he thought of a compromise: making a soup!
upon thinking, he acted. When a large pot filled with various heavenly treasures was ready before Yang Zhen’s eyes, he himself was astounded by the delicious smell wafting out of the pot.
Damn, how can such a tasty thing exist in this world? I truly have the potential to be a god of cooking,” he mused.
Yang Zhen lifted the pot and chugged down more than half of the soup let out a burp, and immediately felt his face turn red as the terrifying energy surged within his body. His blood vessels were boiling and he felt like he was about to explode.
“Holy crap!”
Yang Zhen was startled. He hurriedly sat down cross-legged and circulated the Shangyuan Ancient Scripture and the Dragon Elephant Prison Shaking Body Technique quickly to digest the frenzied energy within his body.
In just a quarter of an hour, Yang Zhen managed to elevate to the first level of the Nascent Soul Stage!
Indeed, the fastest cultivators in this world had to be food lovers.
Yang Zhen opened his eyes with satisfaction only to find himself almost popping his eyes out.
In front of him stood a fat cat, which resembled a ball, on its hind legs. The cat was holding the same pot of heavenly treasure soup with its forepaws, just about to drool all over.
Just as the damn fat cat was about to put its mouth to the edge of the pot, Yang Zhen swiftly kicked it, snatching the pot away.
The fat cat was sent flying by his kick, gave out a weird cry, then swoosh! It sprang back into position. While in mid-air, it opened its mouth wide, rolled its tongue and licked two drops of soup that had splashed during Yang Zhen’s snatching, and squinted with enjoyment.
Upon landing, the fat cat glared with its black eyes pointing angrily at Yang Zhen: “Hey boy, don’t be so stingy, it’s just a couple of sips of your soup. Is that a reason to kick people?”
With a bewildered look, Yang Zhen’s eyes nearly bulged out as he pointed at the fat cat and retorted, “Aha, you shameless rascal, drinking my nourishing soup without me noticing, pretending to be all innocent?!”
“So this stuff is called the nourishing soup, nice name, bring it out at once, we should share such good things!” The fat cat rubbed its paws together; saliva dribbled down and splashed onto the ground.
Yang Zhen suddenly felt annoyed. How on earth could there be such a shameless thing… no, a shameless cat?
In the next moment, Yang Zhen was dumbfounded and stared in terror at the fat cat holding the pot containing nourishing soup, ”You…you can talk?”
The fat cat gave a flip of his eyes, focusing on the pot full of nourishing soup in Yang Zhen’s arms, “Isn’t it obvious? If I don’t talk, how will we communicate?”
“But you’re a damn cat, and a cat that walks on two legs!”
“Nonsense!” The fat cat glared and pointed at itself, “Kid, have a better look am I a cat?”
Yes!”, Yang Zhen confirmed with absolute certainty. Although it was extremely fat, it was definitely a cat.
On hearing Yang Zhen’s answer, the cat became furious. Holding its waist and almost spitting saliva into the nourishing soup pot in anger, it declared “I’m a Kylin!”
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, “Oh, I am not well-read, don’t try to trick me. Is there a Kylin that looks like this? When did I ever hear about that?”
Shaking its head, the fat cat gave Yang Zhen a sharp look. Suddenly, a flattering smile appeared on its face. “Forget it, you wouldn’t understand anyway. Hey, boy, look, there’s a dragon behind you!”
Yang Zhen turned his head and saw, holding the pot with one hand, and slapped it along the edge of the pot.
Snap!
The fat cat gave a strange cry, holding its head and backing away. Pointing at Yang Zhen, it said, “Kid, if you touch me again, do you believe I will fight you to the death?”
Yang Zhen was surprised. With the slapped down, even a Golden Core Stage practitioner could have been killed by him, but this fat cat was not hurt at all, not even a single hair was smacked off?
What species is this?
On hearing the words of the fat cat, Yang Zhen chuckled and said, “Who gave you the courage to be sneaky in front of Sao Saint? This move is not even used in our village’s TV dramas, too common!”
The fat cat hesitated, its eyeballs spinning quickly. “Kid, speak up. What conditions will make you give me that great tonic soup?”
“No. No conditions will work!”
“If I give you a Heavenly Book?”
“Deal!”
“I don’t have one!”
“Damn, are you messing with me?”
“Choose any one of these things… Don’t say….”
“I want them all!”
Yang Zhen snatched all the items that the fat cat had thrown, including a stone with a natural mark. Besides this, others were also rare treasures.
Choose one?
No way!
Yang Zhen looked at the fat cat triumphantly, but this bastard was licking his lips, looking even more triumphant than him.
Wait a minute, licking his lips?
Yang Zhen turned his head to look at the great tonic soup pot beside him, his anger reaching the boiling point.
The fat cat laughed strangely, turned and ran, its two legs moving swiftly, even faster than the radish pulling old man.
“Son of a turtle, stand still for me!”
After storing the things, Yang Zhen chased after him, “If I don’t skin you today,
I will read Sao Saint’s name backward from today!”
As the fat cat ran, it laughed: “Kid, do you think I am easily scared? If you can catch up with me, I will walk on my front legs!”
“You just try to stop running!”
“What if you stop chasing?”
The man and the cat ran swiftly, leaving a trail of dust in the vast Shanggeng Mirror World.
“Hey kid, if you dare, stop using your martial skills to strike me!”
“Pah, despicable cat, stand still and fight with me!”
Passersby:”???”
“Is that Yang Zhen?”
“He…He’s actually chasing a cat?”
“That bastard Yang Zhen, how dare he call a cat despicable? Is he any less despicable?”
“Are you kidding? Yang Zhen’s despicability is famous on East Forest Island, how can a cat be as despicable as him?”
“Maybe both are despicable. Look at that cat, it actually runs on two legs.. Just look at the way it’s running, it’s despicable enough!”
